The Devil’s bridge is an old Ottoman bridge, Constructed between 1515 and 1518 in the early 16th century, by a builder Dimitar. ‘’Dyavolski most’’ in Bulgarian or ‘’Sheytan Kyupriya’’ in Turkish, it’s the most stunning of the humpbacked bridges that cross the Arda River in Bulgaria. It was built over a demolished Roman bridge and cuts from the steep slopes of the Rhodope Mountains along an ancient road linking the Aegean Sea and the Northern Thracian Valley / Gornotrakiyskata Nizina /. https://taxi-bg.com/images/devils_bridge_4.jpg The Devil’s bridge has its own folk tales. One of them is about the builder Dimitar and his meeting with The Devil. In XVI century the Arda River was deep, wildly running and rough, so there weren’t many places where you can build a bridge. One of those few places was a gorge near today’s town of Ardino and Dyadovtsi village. The town and the village didn’t exist in those times and today the village is abandoned. So it appears that the bridge survived longer than a village. https://taxi-bg.com/images/How_to_find_the_devil.jpg The most asked question is How to find The Devil? – You have to get there just before noon, in a sunny day.
